pederson21 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Does anybody know how to reset the administrative username and password to log into the osCommerce admin area? My host set up osCommerce for me but did not give me the username and password to access my store. I need to reset this somehow so I can configure my store.

If this thing was set up with an actual login page, you can do it with a query, but you'd have to have access to edit your code, and if your host set it up for you, you may or may not... If it's set up with htaccess permissions, meaning it pops up a dialog box for you to enter a username/password in, you could probably reset it through your host's control panel (cpanel, plesk, etc), otherwise, you'll have to have your host change it for you, or tell you what it is at the least...

Richard. Richard, you are talking perfectly about my problem. A similar situation. What ever happened on my server - my pasword and/or user-name do not work longer more. In case with your posting I took a look with the ftp-client into the html-file in my host but I could not find any htaccess data-file :-( I have every access to my server I wont to have, but I do not not what I have to do... Please ... If you can explain the neccessary handlings for someone with very smal knowledge of serveradministrations ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dittones Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 JP, If your Admin/user/password...is not .htaccess...The try this [email protected] and password admin...This is the userid/password for a new setup...if this works change the userid and password to something else.

I hope this helps Roman dittone.com And if this doesn't work for any reason, you can edit your login.php file and grab the query that's used to validate your login, then modify it a little from a select statement to an update, and set your password yourself that way... Just run the query once... Richard. Richard Lindsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
